NFL Game Pass
 

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, just wanted to see if anyone has used NFL game pass or has just signed up as their prices have sky rocketed.

Since the 2009 season I've had Game Pass and have been paying £25.00 per month, for 4 months to watch the saints play.
I've just gone to have a look at subscribing again and found that the only prices now are ;

£139.99 for the whole season or
£42.99 per month for 4 months!

I mean come on, I love the Saints, but I've got a family to feed and bills to pay, how have the prices gone up nearly £20 in just over 8 months, it's insane!

I've written an email to them giving the old...."I'm a loyal customer blah blah blah" but I don't think it will do any good.

They haven't even got the "follow your team" option anymore which is normally a hell of a lot cheaper as you can only watch your teams games.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Yeah i have it
Where are you based?

In England we have a blackout on sky sports games,major issue for the playoffs. But with a proxy server there may be away round it, id not condond such things though.


The increase is that they stopped the team option and now only have the full package. There was a £10 increase but that was a vat thing
Its a good package really just less options
NFL Network till July 1st 2017
Every games barring blackouts (playoffs a issue)
Watch any game back to the 2009 season

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Yeah I'm in the UK too Lee, the blackouts are a nightmare, especially considering sky sports costs are so high and they only play saints twice a year if we are lucky.

I just don't understand how game pass have put their prices up by nearly £20 per month.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

I didnt have it last year so not sure what the jump was. I always had the main package rather than just the saints one though.

The main issue is the playoffs though a free proxy server set to Germany solves that.
I can tell you a good way round sky sports cheaper but itll need to be a PM if you are interested.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

I'm fine without sky sports but thanks for your help anyway lee!

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

That's cheap.

If I would get the Game Pass here in Finland it would be either:

74,99€/month (£64,90) or
244.99€/month (£212,03)

So, hopefully that helps you feel like you're getting a bargain. :banana:

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Jesus, that does help FinSaint, but then also makes me feel awful that they are charging those prices to you guys!

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Man thats bad

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

A hundred bucks. It's a shame that I have to pay to watch football, but whadder you gonna do?

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Yeah, but there are couple of local sports channels that show NFL, so I guess that might be why they are charging as much as they are in order for those channels to keep their subscribers... or they're just greedy.

Anyways, it doesn't matter to me as I never watch games live because of the time difference. I just get my games from a private torrent site dedicated to (American) football (NFL, CFL, Arena & college). The added bonus is that when I get the games they've already been cut to not include any commercial breaks, so it's much faster to watch the games. I remember the games took so long to watch live on TV when I lived in US and because of that the tempo of the game was much slower - more time to do other stuff. It pretty much takes the same time to watch the Saints' and Vikings' games together than it would take to watch just one live, but I rarely watch them both at one sitting since there's very little danger of hearing the results early here in Finland.

I know some people can't stand to watch previously recorded games, but it makes no difference to me as I get the exact same feeling of excitement when I watch the games after the fact.

Connect your computer to your TV and stream it.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Is Game Pass live? Also...I have no idea how much money you guys are talking about because I don't know what pounds and euros mean to the dollar.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

In US: Preseason is live, regular season is delayed
Outside US: All of preseason, regular season, and playoffs are live
Doesn't matter. Prices are geographically based. So it's cheaper in some areas and more expensive in others. Prices range in the $200 per season range.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Euro is pretty much equal to dollar at the moment - a little bit more, but not much.

But 1 euro has less buying power here in Finland than 1 dollar does in US - or at least used to.


For comparison:

The average price of gas in US today was $2,12 a gallon.

The price of gas at the station I went to today was €5,32 a gallon.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

A gallon of unleaded is $6.75 over here

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Highway robbery.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Its always been more expensive over here. Its the tax.

Luckily i dont drive of smoke
Cigarettes are about $9 a pack (20)

Certain things are highly taxed over here

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Headed that way over here too I'm afraid...

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Breesus Christ.... Does that include the porn channel?

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

€5,32 a gallon is $6,03 on today's exchange rate.

Gas has been fairly "cheap" the whole summer here in Finland, but earlier in the year it was close to €1,5/litre as in about $6,50 per gallon.

But gas isn't really the biggest problem over here as much as the price of food if we are looking at what affects the widest demographic.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Yeah its £1:15 a litre over here(well thats what the price website say)

I know most of you viking lot have to deal with high cost of living. Is it that bad in terms of wages to cost of living.

A Norwegian was telling us on a soccer forum just how expensive it was to import a car

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Small market & long import routes = high prices.

The cost of living depends naturally on one's income. I have a fairly good income as does my GF and we don't have kids, so we don't really have to budget things that strictly, but there are a lot of people who have problems with the cost of living.

Some taxes are ridiculously high, but taxes pay for a lot of good things, so I don't complain about them as much as I'd maybe want to.

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Unfortunately here in the US our tax money is funneled back to the corporations and 1%.

Anyway, I don't mean to high jack your thread. I respect my fellow Who Dats even more after reading this thread. :cheers:

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

That sucks, the high cost, but I believe the symbol for money is $...

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

No dollar signs in england my friend! Lol

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Re: NFL Game Pass
 

Yeah no dollars over here.
We have no need for a sum of money than less than 300 years old. Sterling goes back nearly 1300 years.
